r?crab:e comic valentines hat excite our
visibes in toe store windo rs, during the
few weeks preceding Valentines Day.
Has sornc ina:pid dude oeel making
spectacle OF him ,elfs He is sure to tinl it
gu. on Valentines Day. in lines something
like these:
Your likeness here send to you,
knocl.zneed and bandy-legged, too;
Reform your style and change your mood,
You shallow, miserable dude.
The lawyer the doctor and the merchant
the butcher, the b,ker and candlestick-
maker, all get satiriZed with more CT less
keenness by anonymous censors on this one
day Of the year. The poetry is not usually
of high order, and generally goes with
limping feet, but, like Mercutio's wound,
it viii serve. An ordinary specimen runs
about this way:
Looking at myself within the glass,
You appear lost in admiration
You deceive yourself, and think, alas.
You are wonder of creation.
The ladies too come in for their share OF
free criticism, and their pet foible5 are I'M
mercifully enlarged upon.
But all this is an abuse of the privileges
Of the day. Much pleasan Ter is it to OBJ
serve the day, as it was meant to tie observ-
ed, as sacred TO the tender emotions. A
day on which the most timid may venture
to declare themselves, when every Romeo
may throw his heart at the feet Of his
juliet When be may be a poet if he
chooses, for one day only, and utter his
sentiments in expressive, though perhaps
Elonotonous, verse.
Oh, sweet Jane Ann
have began
Long since to love you.
There is no prize
Beneath the skys
Iplace above you.
Can one quarrel with tn. simple Muse on
such a day, and under such circumstances
Perish the thought!
Or with this:
Dear Isabella
LAM fellar
Who dares to hope
Your eyes to ope
Unto the smart
OF his poor heart;
Who vows to you
He will be true
Till he is melier,
Dear Isabella!
The rose is rcd, the violets blue,
The pink is sweet. and so arc You.
Is it not pleasant to think what happiness
such lines can onvey.
Nor does the Muse inspire only one sex.
Every Nanki Poo has his Yum Yum, and
even Katisha is made happy with Pooh Bah.
Maiden fears may be cast aside in lines
like these:
Casting my maiden fears aside,
offer thee to be thy bri.le;
TO share thy fortune and thy life,
And be thy sweet and e ntle wife.
There can be no mistake about senti-
| ments sIch rs these, and there is one thing
at least that is evident in the literature Of
Saint Valentine, 1t is very plain and easy
reading.
Long in secret have Isighed;
For you all others have denied;
And il your heart can not gain
Ine'er viii wed another swain.

Sooner or later we all sit at his feet and

the good and kindly Saint rules and tlesses.
Our literature for four hundred years
teens with ALT slons 10 the customs of Val
entine's Day. Poor Ophelia sings:
Tomorrow is Saint Valentines Day,
All in the morning betime,
And q maid at your window
To be your valentine.
In Shakcspeare's day the custom was
that the first individual of the opposite sex
met on the morning of Valentines Day
was thereby marked out as the years lover
or sweetheart. As faithful lover was re-
quired to maintain the beauty and excel
lence OF his lady love, to escort her to all
merry makings and execute all her com.
mands, it was desirable that the right per-
sons should meet on the suspicious morn
| ing, and watching at windows, 'all in the
morning betime," as Ophelia sings, was a
common practice Persons meeting SO
were valentines to each other.
In these days the word valentine is no
longer used in that sense, but now means
the rhymng missive of compliment or
affection sent by one person to another on
Valentines Day.
| Another old meaning of thu word that
has become obsolete was that of gifts 1t
was the custom of lovers to send presents
to each other called valentines on Valen-
tines morning. An old rhyme runs:
Good mornin', Valentine;
First It's yours, then It's mine
So please gve me a valentine
Some very entertaining alius ons to VAL
entine's Day and customs are found in
Pepy's diary. He was Secretary of the
Board of Admiralty in the days of Charles
II, and he records many of the doinys and
| sayings at the court of that dissolute mon
| arch. In speaking of the jewels of the Gel
| ebrated Miss Stuart, one of the court beau
ties, he says: THE Duke of York being
once her valentine, did give her Jewel of
about $3.50, and my Lori Vaudeville, her
valentine this year, ring of about 600"
In another place he says. II am this year
my wife's valentine, and it will cost me
60 but that l must have laid out if we had
| uot been valentines"
